    I found this image on here a while back and saved it. Now that the cage is getting done it inspired me to go with the Baja XRS seats & Pro Armor 3" harnesses while keeping the interior intact, instead of gutting it as planned.

    I've tried reverse image searching and browsing a ton of LT threads, but can't seem to find it again. This looks super clean and I was wondering if he had a build thread.

    Also wanted to say thanks for the inspiration and I hate you for making me spend even more money.

    You'll probably need a helmet driving around town in that caged truck.

    So he welded a tab that wasn't slotted for his LCA caster/camber adjustment. I went with the TC heim joint UCA's because I wanted to weld the cam bolts in place once everything was to my liking so they quit breaking loose on me. Will there be any weird binding issues with that? I want to avoid as much bushing deflection as possible.

    To hopefully prevent a fatality in a rollover. There are certain safety standards that must be met for tech inspections depending on the class. Even a lot of production classes for mostly stock vehicles require a sufficient roll cage, fire suppression, etc.

    I’ve added foamies on the tubes and a mirror since these were taken.

    Hope you don't take it the wrong way. That's a horrible way to anchor your harnesses. In a frontal crash, your harness will pull down on your shoulders and compresses your spine. So even a minor front collision could leave you paralyzed. You need a harness bar that is located preferrably at the shoulder level if you're going to run harnesses.

    I didn’t want that bar behind the b pillar at first but yes you’re right.
